    Hey, Pib is up! And a little of l’Apache as Oog confronts determined Dinah and Nonny!

    Eyeballs, hat, shoe, and tie, all left behind, she kicked him so hard –
     
    Shades of Tex Avery! I expect an anvil ought to land on somebody’s head any time now –
     
    Ah – but whose head, hmmm –
     
    And more importantly – who’s Anvil? And why does he keep dropping in on us like that?

  5. Sisyphos

    Sisyphos said, 5 months ago

    And, by the way, Pib-Nonny is back to right-handed gunslinging.

    fatuncle said: “@atajayhawk – a number of years ago, I was reading ( in an architectural mag, of all places ) about a house of unique design, somewhere in Tornado Alley. ”

    I don’t suppose you remember the name of the mag? or the location of this house? I have been studying underground houses with an eye towards possibly building one someday.

  7. Sisyphos

    Sisyphos said, 5 months ago

    Hmm. Maybe Oognat practices not so much l’Apache as la Savate?

    My second day here at Pibgorn, I find this comic very entertaining. I wonder how Nat will get out of this situation.(um! or does he want to). I gotta tell my dad to check this comic out. I think he’ll like it.

    BikeNBoatNGenius_badge said, 5 months ago

    So much for “cover me!” That was so fast nobody had time to react.

    9CL: Does anyone else think Diane has big anime-style eyes now?

  10. MurphyHerself

    Interesting emotions.

    BikeNBoatN, Diane’s eyes: big, yes; animé-style, no (thank goodness!), IMO.

    Thus spake Oognat!

    Drucilla=Dinah Cloverly
    Pibgorn=Nonny Vogelsang
    Oognat=?

    Thanks ladywolf17. Looks like a little rough foreplay never hurts to participate in. one guy, three smokin’ hot babes , heck let the fun begin. And thanks to those who recomended this comic Pibgorn to us. I like this comic already.

    Welcome to the Order of The Couch (OTC) and the Comfy Couch of Confusion and all the other amenities here, ladywolf17 and wolfbyte36!

    The eyeballs floating in the air are a nice touch. Hats and ties are one thing but eyes?

    Just goes to show—never mess with fairies (unless they are the Dinsey kind)

  17. chinawanderer

    chinawanderer said, 5 months ago

    Oognat looks like she did during A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream if memory serves.

    If true, I am seriously on the couch.

    I brought kimchi for everyone on the couch! I got mild, medium, and (my favorite) hot enough for Dru!

    thevenbede said, about 3 Godica choclates ago:

    Hey, before I forget-June 17 is M.C. Escher’s birthday.

    Thanks for that information. It’s also my eldest son’s birthday, and the birthday of a friend’s son.

    Saskfan said, 5 months ago

    Welcome, Ladywolf17! Pull up a sectional of the couch and join us. Care for a touch of honey mead? It’s in the green beer bottle on the sideboard. Drink a litre of water to go with it, though; the maker warned us that mead gives a WICKED hangover if you don’t keep sufficiently hydrated.

    The mead is smoother than the water, though.

  23. BikeNBoatN

    BikeNBoatNGenius_badge said, 5 months ago

    chinawanderer, here’s what Oognat looked like in Midsummer, playing the part of Bottom:

    http://picayune.uclick.com/comics/pib/2006/pib061218.gif

    In this arc, Oognat reminds me of Juliette (from 9CL) because of her hairdo. She has Juliette’s hairdo instead of Oognat’s curly Midsummer hairdo, but definitely not the upturned Burber nose.

    Kimchi! Good stuff! Can be rather aromatic depending on how it’s made, but all good nevertheless.

    the couch best place in the world to be so comfy and full of charming people. I’m snacking on pizza right now with a coke.

    Nat brought to heel with a stilletto at his throat. It’s looking up for him. Can Oog out-tango Dru and Pib like she did Nat?

  28. chinawanderer

    chinawanderer said, 5 months ago

    Thanks BikeNBoat,
    Still confused but not so badly.

    Nat has been swatted, mind you the view from down there must be distracting…….

  31. sarge112751

    sarge112751 said, 5 months ago

    Yes, 2 faeries, 2 demons, plus some smokey critter… now shake very lightly, and let it “fizz”! — then run for cover, I think Nat may lose more than his mind here.

    (I’m surprised he’s averted his eyes from the “floor-show”!)

  32. lockestep

    lockestep said, 5 months ago

    Sarge, I believe his expression is because of the view. Kinda eye-popping.

  33. Owlsly Whistlepig

    Owlsly WhistlepigGenius_badge said, 5 months ago

    Just imagine the view he has from down there…here kitty kitty

    Colt9033 said, 5 months ago

    Surprised that we didn’t see any socks flying off Buster too.

    Oognat certainly has some slick moves put on him.

    Question is: Where they going with now? Two girls with heat, girl with quick and eye-popping moves, and guy who has no clue.

  36. waycyber

    waycyberGenius_badge said, 5 months ago

    Just realised. Oognat backwards is Tango O

  37. NebulousRikulau

    NebulousRikulauGenius_badge said, 5 months ago

    Nat isn’t enjoying the view,
    Not with Oognat’s right foot on the back of his neck.
    If not for that, his position might be enviable.

  38. arsmall

    arsmall said, 5 months ago

    Um…call me slow, but I thought she flipped him some how..Wouldn’t that have been an ackward kick? I mean, she twisted his arm, the next move in my mind would have been some kind of flip…oh well..

    Unca-Alby!!! When did you come back??? It’s good to see your avatar again. It appears to be a ghost of it’s former self. I’ve been in lurk mode quite a bit lately so I have no idea when you rejoined the confused yet happy throng. I hope Auntie Alby is doing well.

    If Nat isn’t enjoying the view, it’s only because Oognat is wearing an Everlast chastity belt under that skirt. (Not bloody likey)

    It would appear that Oognat herself has gotten mentally sucked into the ‘dream’ as well. To celebrate my 48th complete revolution around the sun, The ships cook and one of my co-workers wrangled the recipe for a dark dark chocolate cake with orange marmalade filling from my misses of which I wish to share with the OTC. I leave it on the sideboard and take my leave to enjoy a few moments soak in the Hot Tub. My back is in the most dire need of it at the moment.

    Yarg! Lesson learned: Don’t try posting comments from a handheld. By the holy skull of Mogg’s grandmother, that was frustrating - and I couldn’t even delete the extras.

    Had to take the time to hook up my laptop to get rid of the detritus. blush

    Anyway, hot cornbread and orange honey on the sideboard for the morning conclave.

    And yeah, the eyeballs did crack me up. And yeah, there’s a breathtaking view from below decks.

    And UncaAlby, a most heartfelt welcome back from wherever you’ve been…

    Story Teller said, ”I don’t suppose you remember the name of the mag? or the location of this house? I have been studying underground houses with an eye towards possibly building one someday.”

    I’m very sorry, but no. It was more than 20 years ago, when I was teaching architectual drafting. I was interested in how they settled the problem of groundwater seepage. It was the story about the tornado which stuck in my memory.

    Oognat’s face in panel 2 really resembles Juliette’s.

    She may have whipped him out to arms length then jerked him back in towards her. That would have given him motion into her kick, effectively increasing the force of the kick. Having explained it all so neatly now let me say, “Nope, it’s all artistic license and nothing more.” The simplest explanation isn’t always the most fun.
